What is the TickstoryInfoExpert EA? Do i need it?

Post by kasinath »

Hi,

What is the TickstoryInfoExpert EA? I have searched but cant find any information on what it is or why people use it.
The most i can tell is that it is for 'configuring mt4' .
Can anyone shed some light on what this EA does?

Hi Kasinath,

TickstoryInfoExpert EA has now been replaced with an easier method of getting your broker's MT4 symbol information (eg. Lot size, lot step, etc).

To have the same effect, just do the following (applies to Tickstory v1.9.5.4+):

1) (If you haven't already) Configure your MT4 broker terminal in File->Settings.
2) Select the symbol you wish to export and choose "Export to MT4".
3) In the "MT4 Settings" tab, select your broker's symbol (eg. GOLD) from the drop-down "Map to" field box. When you do, Tickstory will automatically populate all the the MT4 settings for that symbol (Lot size, etc).
4) Select OK to begin the export.
5) Once the export is complete, begin your test!

Thanks.
